Take ya Gf along with you and pick him up. He's a mate and you should know better! No matter what, mates come first.

That is what Mr. Nice guy would do . . . .but . . . .sometimes being nice isn't nice.

People tend to use you. At least tell him that you wouldn't be able to pick him up.

Nope sorry call a cab.

If he was your roomate, I would have suggested picking him up, as the inconvenience of going to the station would be outweighed by the inconvenience of having to live with a hostile roomate for a year.

You did the right thing.

If it were me i would have just told him "man, normally i would have no problem with it but im busy with some other stuff right now."

doing someone a favor is ok

doing someone 10 favors and you end up getting walked all over.

Its like the sign over my wife's desk at work reads "I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day... tomorrow is not looking good for you either."

sometimes you just have to say no, that doesnt make you a jerk
